These are the books that I'm reading. I like to escape into fiction, but also learn something from self-help. It turns out there is a lot to learn in this world. As a teenager, I thought I knew everything. I was off a little bit on that one. The self-help books are generally about business, self-improvement, motivation and other topics that catch my interest.

Here are the current books that I have on the go:

You Are a Badass - Jen Sincero

I'm reading this with my wife because yes, we are.

James Patterson - NYPD Red 2

The installment for the Private India office.

Recently Read

Moz Staff (Randy Fishkin) - The Beginner's Guide to SEO

This field has attracted my attention and I want to learn more in depth techniques. It's right up my alley in terms of how I like to approach work.

James Patterson - Private India

This one didn't grab me like some of the books in the series.

James Patterson - Burn

A Michael Bennett book.

James Patterson - Unlucky 13

The 13th (obviously) installment in the Women's Murder Club

James Patterson - Private Down Under

A new Private office open in Sydney, Australia.

Ken Blanchard & Spencer Johnson - The (New) One Minute Manager

Short and sweet.

The saying goes that: 'you don't quit your job, you quit your boss'. After reading this, I see that this is true and I have left jobs because it wasn't fulfilling, there wasn't enough feedback or direction. If the simple techniques in this book are applied, I strongly believe that employee retention at pretty much any company would vastly improve.

Some people enjoyed this book, but I found myself trying to figure out why I care about the main character.

Napoleon Hill - The Law of Success

It took me almost two years to get through it. Every page contains valuable information.

It's a long book and I've only completed my first pass. I'll need to keep consulting it in order for the lessons to sink in. Any lessons that I apply to my life will only serve to improve it and further my goals. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to be successful, not only in wealth, but to feel great in your own skin.

James Patterson - Hope to Die

21nd book in the Alex Cross series

Now I have to find out how the story ends that began in Cross my Heart
